* ''Film/KingOfTheRocketMen''. Our heroes are chasing a truck when TheDragon detaches the canvas tarpaulin on the back which goes flying over the windshield over their pursuers, sending them off the road into the sea. A cliffhanger is averted as they're shown popping up from the water right afterwards.

* In ''Literature/HanselAndGretel'', the wicked witch, who is trying to [[FatteningTheVictim fatten Hansel before she eats him]], checks every day to see how fat he is by having him stick one of his fingers through the bars of his cage. She has such bad eyesight, though, that she cannot see that Hansel is holding out a bone instead of his finger.

* ''VideoGame/{{Rogue}}'': Quaffing a potion of blindness would bring the message "A cloak of darkness falls around you". It was still possible to move about, but you would have to try different directions to find doors. Monsters would be referred to as "it". The effect would lift after a long time, or by quaffing a potion of healing, or see invisible.

* ''Literature/DannyTheChampionOfTheWorld'': The basis of Danny's father's favourite method of poaching pheasants, known as "The Sticky Hat": a paper hat has the inside smeared with glue and a few raisins dropped inside, with a trail of raisins leading up to it. The idea is that the pheasant puts his head inside to gobble up the raisins, gets the hat stuck on his head, and he will not run away because he can't see.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' has Fred going to the circus and becoming the star performer, because he walked out into the performer's area and got into the act. The reason he's doing this is that he is wearing not the glasses he was prescribed, but accidentally took the optometrist's glasses instead, and is wearing them by mistake (and the optometrist's uncorrected vision is a lot worse).

* In his autobiography ''Literature/GoingSolo'', Creator/RoaldDahl describes being blinded when he crashed his fighter plane, which then caught fire, and he had to free himself. His eyes were not damaged beneath his facial injuries, so he regained his sight later.
--> I was in two worlds. Both worlds were pitch-black, but one was burning hot, and the other was not.
